Mary’s Pie Crust: no one will know it’s gluten free

Posted on September 6, 2014 by gfandme

If you follow this blog, you’ll know that some of our best recipes come from my mother Mary. As we have said, she is known for her pies – both glutinous and gluten free – and she often drops by with a gf one for Geoff. Last week’s was lemon meringue 🙂 It was sooooo good we figured we re-post her gf pie crust recipe with quantities and instructions for single crust pies.

For a lighter/flakier version and/or instructions for a two crust pie, see our earlier post.

The smell of this gluten free raisin bread in the oven is so AH-MAZ-ING, don’t be surprised if the neighbours come calling! And if they do, they will never guess it’s gluten free.

gf and me’s Orange and Honey Stir Fry

Posted on August 13, 2014 by gfandme

This is, I think, our favorite stir fry – it tastes fantastic, is super quick to throw together, and makes for an easy weeknight dinner. Serve it on a bed of jasmine rice and you’ll be in heaven. This stir fry has hints of orange and honey and as much heat as you want to add. Make it vegetarian by replacing the chicken with baby corn.

gf and me’s pizza – you’ll never guess it’s gluten free

Posted on July 16, 2014 by gfandme

This pizza crust is incredibly easy to make. The hardest part is waiting for the dough to rise, but when it does the result is a not-too-soft and not-too-hard pizza crust that tastes divine. I know we said before that Gluten Free Pantry’s french bread mix made the best pizza crust ever, but we were wrong. (It happens sometimes…) This recipe – based on our gluten free white bread recipe – results in a lighter crust and has little to none of that gluten free after taste. No having to make sure that every inch of this crust is covered with sauce! In fact, this is the closest to a wheat flour pizza crust that we have eaten so far – and we have eaten many a gluten free pizza.

dark, dark, dark gluten free chocolate cake …. Did I say it was dark?

Posted on July 9, 2014 by gfandme

The next time you feel like chocolate cake – and let’s face it, there WILL be a next time – try this one. Made with 3/4 of a cup of cocoa, it is chocolatey to the point of decadence, and because it’s made with boiling water, it’s also really, really moist. One of those rare gluten free baked items that actually improves with age, this cake will be even better tomorrow, which is a good thing because the recipe makes one big ol’ sheet cake. For those of you who are better at cake decorating than I am (which will be most of you!) this would make a great decorated layer cake.

I have served this to unsuspecting guests who have had no idea that it was gluten free!
